How Can You Tell if a Wig is Heat Friendly?

January 24, 2023

Identifying Synthetic Wigs

If you're not sure whether a wig is heat-friendly or not, look for the label or what many retailers call a "hang tag". Most wigs will have this information printed on the tag, usually either "heat friendly" or "heat resistant". 

Additionally, if a wig is made out of polyester synthetic fibers, it's likely to be heat-friendly. 

Styling

It's important to keep in mind that even if a wig is labeled as heat-friendly, you should still take precautions when styling it with thermal/heat styling tools. Keep the temperature of your tools between 275° F to 300° F. Too hot and your fiber can become damaged or deteriorate faster, too cool and your fiber will not style. We recommend letting the hair fiber cool in the shape you desire which ensures it will hold the style after it cools. It's also important to use a detangling spray and a wide tooth comb to detangle and help prevent frizzing with synthetic fibers. Frizzing is inevitable and is caused by friction and tension, so be sure to smooth out any frizz using a flat iron, and focus on the nape of your wig where frizz tends to appear quickest.

    What is Shipping Protection?

    We want you to receive your piece in perfect condition, but sometimes things happen to packages while in transit that can't be controlled. If you’re a customer in the contiguous United States, you can add this layer of protection to make sure your package is covered if it happens to get lost, stolen, or damaged. To help mitigate these shipping issues, we provide enhanced protection to your order for a small fee at the time of checkout. This fee covers the following shipping issues:

    • LOST: Packages presumed to be lost by the carrier where the status is not ‘delivered’. Claims can be filed between 7 and 30 days from the date the order was shipped.
    • STOLEN: Packages marked ‘delivered’ yet not received are considered stolen. Claims can be filed between 5 and 15 days after the ‘delivery date’.
    • DAMAGED: A purchased product that is unusable due to damage incurred during shipping is considered damaged. Claims can be filed within 15 days of the delivery date.
